Story Behind the Art : The Mughal era marked the peak of the rug industry in India, with Emperor Akbar establishing rug weaving centers in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore in the late 16th century. Initially influenced by Persian styles, Indian rugs by the 17th century began developing their unique visual language. Known for tight weaving, luxurious wool, vibrant colors, and realistic motifs, Indian rugs became recognized for their craftsmanship and timeless appeal. Today, Agra rugs blend Persian designs with original Indian elements, such as detailed flowers, scrolling vines, and angular designs, maintaining their distinguished elegance.
